Buck 65
Blondie
Beatles
Battles

Yeah, this is quite pointless. But there is no better letter!

but...

bananarama, bob the builder, back street boys, boris (contraversial), beck


..

Looking at my iPod, and my alphabetical (the result of working in a Stalinist Virgin Megastore) CD collection, it would appear that S is certainly my most popular letter. Whether its the best, I'm unsure.


..to name some more

Band Of Horses
Barry White
Be Your Own Pet
Bedouin Soundclash
Ben Folds
Black Kids
Bled
Blonde Redhead
Blood Brothers
Blood Red Shoes
Bob Dylan
Bob Marley
Brand New
Bright Eyes
Broken Social Scene
Bronx
Bruce!
Built To Spill


bob Marley is

M....


i know he's a mr.......

but he is a blobby!

+ you missed out the BEATLES!!!!


i didn't...

you've simply been dazzled by the amount of bands starting with the letter B. Don't worry, it happens.


you good sir

are right! i am humbly sorry.


Billy Bragg

Bloc Party
Ben Folds
Badly Drawn Boy

i think i propose the letter R...


What?

No BONEY M?

><


+

Bishop Allen
Bon Iver
Broken Records
Broken Social Scene
Built to Spill

(this is basically a 'list bands that you like that begin with b' thread, right?)

i nominate h, q, u, x and z as the worst letters.


as band letters

in the sense that i listen to very few or no bands beginning with them.


I wonder what letter...

is proportionally best? As is has the best good bands to number of bands ratio. I bet I's quite good... Interpol, Idlewild. And, er, I can't really think of any more.


Bat For Lashes

B.B. King
Beethoven
Big L
Black Keys
Bogdan Racznski
Busta Rhymes
Buzzcocks


Burial


BEULAH

Born Ruffians <3
Umm... Brainiac?


Agreed. Also:

Bad Astronaut
Beulah
Besnard Lakes
Big Star
Blitzen Trapper
Blood Meridian
Blues Goblins
Bright Eyes
Built Like Alaska

Do Dylan and Bill Callahan and the Bens Kweller and Folds count, technically?


No,

but fuck it.


Ctrl + F "Botch" = not found.

For shame.


And

Big Black
Brendan Benson
Blind Melon

Aah lists!


..

Black Flag
Black Eyes
Boom Bip
Big Business
Birthday Party
Boredoms
Burning Witch
Burning Star Core

Anyway...it's actually S
For Shellac
Sunn
Subtle
Swans
Suicide

Quality not quantity right? As a lot of mediocre bands have been named in this thread.


In that case...

P:
Pixies
Pavement
End of thread.


S gets my vote too -

SebastiAn
Sugababes
Sepultura
Shizuo
Soulwax


Bollocks


It's definitely 'S'

S is best
